One of the 12 cities of Ionian League (an ancient Greek District on the western coast of Asia Minor) is located near Izmir. As a port city it was a major departure point for trade routes into Asia Minor.

Walk through the history along the marble streets lined with colourful public buildings, some dating back over 2000 years. Among them, the Baths of Schlasitca and the Libary of Celsus. It was built in the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila to be a memorial to his father Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of Povince of Asia, the Temple of Hadrian and the Grand Theater are two of the most impressive buildings in Ephesus. Grand Theatre was built in the 3rd Century B.C and it was later expanded to 24,000 spectators by the Romans in the 1st Century A.D.
